Killer dinosaurs / Miles, Liz

Introduces killer dinosaurs through an imaginary safari to a mysterious island, describing small and large meat eaters, the senses used for tracking, killer teeth, tails and claws, and includes common theories as to why the dinosaurs suddenly died out.

"Some dinosaurs have undoubtedly earned their killer reputations. Reptilian carnivores used many different methods to catch and kill. Bone-crushing jaws, flesh-ripping teeth, and skin-slashing claws panicked prey during the age of the dinosaurs. Some carnivores hunted alone, and others worked in packs. Many were speedy, while others were wily or powerful. This mesmerizing book covers high-interest dinosaurs, such as Tyrannosaurus rex and Velociraptor, as well as future favorites, such as Utahraptor and Carnotaurus. Dinosaur lovers will discover lots to absorb in the detailed charts, labeled illustrations, and spellbinding sidebars"--Provided by the publisher.
